IMPROVEMENT lN WHIP-STOCK COVERINGS.

Spcciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,571., dated April14, 1874; application-filed February 27, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY' J. FUSE, of Westfield, of the county ofHampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Whip Stock Goverings; and do hereby declare the same tobe fully described in the following specication and represented in theaccompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 alongitudinal section, of a portion of a whipstock provided with my newor improved covering.

In carrying out my invention, I interweave in helices about the stock A,both laterally and longitudinally, afine metallic wire, a, and a seriesof threads or bands, b. lhe part of the vstock to be protected by thewoven covering is first to be covered with a ground, c, of gold, silver,or tin foil, or paper with a metallic covering.

From the above, it will be seen that for the usual spun thread, woundhelicallyT transversely around the stock, I have substituted a iinemetallic wire, and arranged the woven cover upon a metallic ground, thewhole, when nished,

causing the stock not only to present a brilliant metallic appearance,but to have a strong and durable4 covering.

The longitudinal helices of thread have the wire interwoven with them,it first going underneath one, and next over the neXt one, thesucceeding coil of the wire going over the iirst and under the second.

, The covering, as described, has great advantages over the threadcovering.

I claiml. As a new manufacture, a whip-stock coverin g composed of ametallic wire, a, and a series of woven threads, b, laid in helices, andinterwoven about the stock, as set forth.

2. As a new manufacture, a whip-stock cOv- A ering composed of ametallic ground or foil, c, as described, and a metallic wire, a, and aseries of threads, b, laid in helices, and interwoven about such groundand the stock, all substantially as specified.
